The diagrams beside the heart rate program indi- cators show how the target heart rate will change during the programs. During the 85% Max. pro- gram, your heart rate will reach approximately
85% of your estimated maximum heart rate; dur- ing the Self Select program, your heart rate will re- main near a level that you select.
Note: Your estimated maximum heart rate is de- termined by subtracting your age from 220. For example, if you are 30 years old, your estimated maximum heart rate is 190 beats per minute (220 – 30 = 190).
During heart rate pro- grams, the matrix will show a moving graphic that represents your heart rate. Each time a heartbeat is detected, an additional peak will appear.
